Effect of a board game on imprisoned women's knowledge about ... - BMC Public Health

The Previna board game was designed to be a complementary tool in the teaching and learning process about STIs for imprisoned women. The results showed that this educational technology significantly increased the players' knowledge about STIs and that this increase in knowledge remained significant during follow-up. This suggests that there was knowledge retention in the period researched. The increase in knowledge was also present in other studies that used board games for educational purposes [13,14,15,16]. The knowledge retention observed in this study is a result that draws attention, as the school teachers frequently mentioned that the women had difficulty retaining the contents taught in the classroom.

The 5 Best OTC Cold Sore Treatments of 2024 - Health.com

Image
Cold sores are quite common, and many people have a cold sore outbreak a few times a year. Itchy, painful, irritated, and sensitive cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and, less commonly, HSV 2. According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 3.7 billion people globally have an HSV-1 infection at a given time, which is the main cause of cold sores. Most cold sores go away within a few weeks without treatment. However, multiple over-the-counter (OTC) ways to treat cold sores can help speed healing without needing to see a healthcare provider.
